Approaches to using devices in the classroom can be classified as learning "with" technology or learning "from" technology (Howland et al., 2011). Though the benefits of constructionist, learning "with" technology learning experiences has been discussed (e.g., Baytak & Land, 2011; Levinsen, 2008), few studies have…

The increasing number of technological devices available in schools, aligned with curriculum guidance, set an expectation for mathematics teachers to incorporate these devices into their teaching. This qualitative study investigated prospective teachers' use of TPACK and mathematical action technologies as they created screencast video lessons…

More and more school administrators are expecting new teachers to flip their classrooms prior to completing their teacher certification. The purpose of this study was to explore the experiences of preservice teachers who facilitated learning in a flipped classroom, to identify the benefits and challenges of flipped instruction on preservice…

After interacting with a Best Practices video case whole class and individually, preservice teachers were asked to reflect on what features they deemed helpful. In addition, they were asked to reflect on what additional features they would find desirable. The constant comparative method was used to analyze the data (Glaser, 1965). Three features…

Over the past four years, the Technology Proficiency Self-Assessment (TPSA) created by Ropp (n.d.) and the Student Information Survey designed by Shoffner (2007a) were used to monitor the technology integration competence of pre-service teachers in a technology integration course at Georgia State University. The data collected and class…

The educational landscape has changed as the role of technology and online courses have has increased in student instruction. Many colleges are actively engaged in the development of online courses and bringing their on-campus courses to the online environment, with a majority of public institutions in the United States offering either online or…

Educators are under increasing pressure to raise student achievement on state-mandated exams, and they are at the same time expected to increase the use of technology in their classrooms. Although the number of classrooms incorporating computers has increased, technology integration has been less than successful. The purpose of this study was to…

Delivery and formatting techniques for technical materials have traditionally been determined by common sense, not cognitive theory. In fact, for hundreds of years, verbal messages in the form of lecture and print have been the primary method of disseminating information to the learner. To move beyond verbal messages and toward the assimilation of…
